Success Before Sex (Volume 1) Sharnice A. Jones

It's About Priorities, Not Perfection You know the old adage: "Sex Sells"? Unfortunately, all too often, it sells young girls short - creating roadblocks to successful, fulfilling lives. Sex can be a difficult topic for teenagers to openly talk about with parents and other adults, leaving a high risk for misinformation and misunderstanding. Without the opportunity to fully address concerns, myths and their natural curiosity, many adolescents engage in risky sexual behaviors. Complicating matters, youth do so before they are mature enough to fully appreciate the unintended consequences that may result of risky behaviors. That?s why Sharnice Jones turned a school project into a book, Success Before Sex, that is helping teenage girls better understand their options and risks when engaging in sexual activity. Success Before Sex - It's About Priorities, Not Perfection As honest as it is easy read, "Success Before Sex", is authored by a teenager and aims to reach youth and adults who support them. "Success Before Sex" includes discussion questions and is a suitable tool for starting a dialogue on this sensitive subject. Speaking with a view no adult can offer, the young author details her journey and talks about (among other things) career aspirations, HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy and the American dream of reaching personal goals.
